Quick Reviews

Kris: I liked this episode a lot more than last week’s. I’m glad the focus was on Four, Five, and Six. I also appreciated that we finally got a look at some memories.

Annie: I loved it! It was great to finally get some backstory on other characters, like Four, Six and Five, and to see the disparate pieces of previous episodes start to come together. Jodelle Ferland has a fantastic performance, and all the moments between Five and Six hit me right in the feels!

Both Four and Six were shown to not be guilty of the crimes that they were charged with, but weren’t totally innocent either

Three is an asshole. (This is not news.)

Stuff that Made Us Happy

Focus on Five! Also, Four and Six.

Two’s concern for Five, holding Five’s hand — Two and Six are like the mom/dad of the ship
